It gets colorful! Autumn decorations in the house

Once again, autumn has arrived. The days are getting shorter, the summer flowers are losing their blossoms, and the wind tugs at our hair. But it doesn’t take much to see the good sides of this season. The autumn colors of many trees and shrubs are so overwhelming that they almost seem supernatural. The deciduous trees look as if they were painted, boldly reaching into nature's color palette, covering everything from orange to red to brown. The wonderful Japanese Maple in its radiant autumn dress is truly magical! Then there are the many red and black berries that now come into their own! Spindleberry and hawthorn wave hello. Why only enjoy all these magnificent colors outdoors? Leaves and twigs are excellent additions to a splendid autumn décor that adorns hallways and rooms.

There are many ways to bring a touch of autumn into your home. In addition to leaves, pine cones, pumpkins, and chestnuts are key elements that inspire creativity. With just a few simple steps, you can arrange them beautifully on the mantel, bookshelf, or sideboard. And with a little more time, you can create small works of art.

First and foremost, wreath lovers will get their money’s worth. The round decoration can consist entirely of colorful twigs and leaves. Once Halloween arrives, simply tuck in some black branches and add a few spooky touches to liven it up. A wreath made of pine cones is also eye-catching—and smells great too. Lovely wooden apples and colorful ribbons add extra flair. Prefer something more elegant? Then go for white pumpkins, with a few multicolored ones placed in between as accents. If you like it bold and bright, decorate crisp autumn fruits of different types and sizes with stickers from the craft section. The result is sure to catch the eye—not just for kids!

Pumpkins are a must-have when it comes to fall décor. With their wide variety of colors and shapes, there’s something for everyone—and they’re perfect for mixing and matching. From large to small and from vibrant orange to subtle green, they can be arranged side by side or even stacked on top of one another. Creatively displayed on the front steps, they lift the mood the moment you come home. Guests also appreciate being welcomed in a way that’s both seasonal and imaginative. For an extra cozy touch, add a rustic old lantern. Maybe even arrange a few chestnuts, freshly popped from their spiky shells, around the light source?

Chestnuts are a wonderful natural material for attractive and simple decorating ideas. Not only are they beautiful to look at and absolutely unique in shape, but they also feel lovely to the touch. These natural treasures make perfect centerpieces for elegant table decorations. Paired with slender twigs and colorful leaves, they become true eye-catchers on a stylishly set table. Like all natural autumn décor, they captivate with their warm tones. Short on time? Simply place a vase with autumn branches on the table and add a small cluster of chestnuts. And just like that, you’ve created a touch of autumn magic in your cozy sitting area.

Chestnuts are popular building blocks for autumn crafts. Children have great fun turning them into their favorite animals using small tools and a bit of creativity. Acorns and pinecones can also be added to create your own dog, the neighbor’s cat, or even tiny people. Even nuts aren’t just for snacking—halved walnut shells make wonderful little hats. Want to go bigger? Then craft dinosaurs and monsters to get a head start on Halloween.

Just take a look around your garden! And if you’re still missing something, a walk in nature will surely help. One last tip: when it comes to autumn decorations, less is often more. It's the little things that warm the heart.
